May 16, 2005At the courthouse, Ethan arrives and talks with the bailiff. Gwen
thinks Ethan is too late, it is too late to help her. Meanwhile, Theresa
is confident that Ethan was late because he still loves her and didnt
want to defend Gwen. Ivy shows up soon, and she apologizes for being
late as well. Ethan explains why he is late to the judge. Rebecca tells
Ivy that Ethan was too late, he left Gwen hanging. Rebecca says she
doesnt know whose side Ethan is on. Ivy is positive that Ethan
wont abandon Gwen, and Ethan must be explaining to the judge why he
was late. Meanwhile Theresa continues to believe that Ethan has chosen
her and he is explaining this to the judge. The judge says that there is
new evidence so she will revoke her ruling until all the evidence can be
heard. Theresa cant believe this, and she thinks Ethan wouldnt do
this to her. Gwen thanks Ethan for being here and for not deserting her
after all. Ethan presents his evidence to the court. Ethan says Gwen is
a woman of exemplary character, she has never committed a crime and has
no history of violent behavior. He says however Gwen did stab Theresa
twice and kidnapped her baby. Ethan says hes known Gwen for the
majority of her life and shes never shown such violent behavior
before. He says he has a study on the side affects of several drugs,
which he submits as evidence. Ethan says the study shows that the mixing
of the drugs can have serious side effects. Ethan says the night Gwen
attacked Theresa she was given an injection to tranquilize her that
mixed with two of her prescriptions, prescriptions included in the study
he submitted as evidence, and he says the effects that could have
resulted include mood swings, impaired judgment and a loss of reality.
Ethan says when Gwen was given that injection it interacted with her
previous medication, therefore her behavior was a result of the drug she
was given. Theresa objects, and the judge calls order in the court.
Theresa thinks that is all a lie and Gwen knew what she was doing.
Meanwhile Gwen thanks Ethan and says she hates Theresa but even she
cant believe shed kill her. Ethan says that is because she
wasnt in her right mind, she was coming off the drugs while at the
compound with Katherine and returned to thinking rationally. The DA says
this evidence isnt conclusive and one can find a medical study to
attest to anything nowadays. He asks that this evidence be thrown out.
He says they just need more evidence then this, and the judge says the
DA has a valid point. Ethan says he has more evidence, he has two
hundred and fifty case histories to support his study and a witness. He
calls Eve in to testify that Gwen attacked Theresa under the effects of
the drugs. Eve is sworn in, and Theresa cant believe Eve is doing
this. Ethan questions Eve about the prescriptions Gwen was on, and she
admits she prescribed the other drugs to Gwen. However, she says she did
not give Gwen the injection that night, the on-call doctor did. She says
she would never have mixed the drugs because of the side effects. Ethan
presents a statement from the on-call doctor who swears he didnt know
Gwen was on the medication and would not have given her the shot if he
had known. Eve testifies that Gwens actions were possibly a result of
the interaction of the drugs in her system. When the DA tells Theresa
they cant do anything at this point, Theresa goes off and begins
yelling out that this is a farce and she calls Eve the expert
witness a former drug addict, a tart and suspected serial killer.
Whitney tells Theresa to stop this, but Theresa says this is about her
child and family, which she is fighting for. Rebecca and Ivy cant
believe Theresa is now attacking her best friends mother. Eve ends up
leaving the court, and Whitney tells Theresa that she went too far this
time. Whitney follows her mom out. Pilar asks Theresa how she could be
so cruel ? Theresa says she cant lose this case. Outside the
courtroom Whitney checks on her mom and she apologizes for what Theresa
said. Eve says she knows Theresa is desperate, and Theresa only told the
truth. Whitney says she is sorry. Eve says she doesnt want Whitney to
regret her decisions the way she has regretted her own. Whitney says
they have been through this. Eve says but she hasnt even seen her
child. Whitney tells her mom that she has seen her baby, held him and
even nursed him. Eve thinks Whitney has changed her mind and must be
happy, but Whitney says no. She says nothing has changed, she never
wants to see her baby again. Back in court, Ethan asks the judge in lieu
of the new evidence he asks for the charges against Gwen be dismissed.
He says furthermore, he also asks that full custody be given to him and
his wife.

In Vegas, the loan shark tells Ned that he wants his money. He tells him
that the clock is ticking, and he pays one way or the other. Meanwhile,
Fancy keeps getting calls from Harmony and refuses to answer them.
Valerie says it may be her mother. Fancy says even more reason not to
answer. Valerie says maybe it is an emergency. Fancy says her mother has
never called her before because of an emergency, that is what her
brother is for. She says her mother is probably relieved she isnt
answering the phone. Fancy and Valerie then see Ned dealing with the
loan shark. The loan shark and his associate begin leading Ned off, and
Fancy and Valerie follow. Fancy tells the loan shark to stop, and he
says that better be a request as he doesnt take orders from a Paris
Hilton wannabe. She says actually Paris wants to be her. Fancy says she
is a natural blond, shes much richer than Paris, and Paris last
two boyfriends dumper Paris for her. Fancy says call off his goons or
shell make sure the loan shark is the one dumped in the desert. She
asks if hell call the Neanderthal off. The loan shark says she is
cute but hes not threatened by her spoiled rich girl routine. She
says she cant believe he is saying no to her, shes not used
hearing no. The loan shark says there is a first time for everything.
The loan shark tells his goon to take Ned away. Fancy says hold it, and
she says she is also smarter than Paris Hilton. She offers her watch in
exchange for Ned, and the man takes it. Fancys friend Valerie takes
off, and the loan shark takes the watch, and he warns Ned it will take
more than a diamond watch to save Ned if he sees him again. Fancy tells
Ned they should get out of here before he changes his mind, and she says
Ned can buy her a drink to repay her. Ned tells Fancy that he only let
her settle his debt because he knew she tipped off the other player that
he didnt have a winning hand. She says well he ticked her off so she
got even. He asks how he ticked her off, but then remembers he called
her a hooker. They get drinks and Ned apologizes for his remark and says
he was just concentrating on the game. Fancy says she will forgive him
and they should pretend they just met and start all over. Ned says okay,
but he will pay her back. They begin making observations about one
another, and Ned tells her what she did was a very generous gesture. She
says it was a gift from her father and his secretary bought it for her
as usual. She talks about how his father has no idea of any of his
kids birthdays, and her whole family are like strangers to her. Ned
says that sounds familiar. He says still he doesnt want her paying
his debts, so he will still repay her. She says he can repay her right
now, and they kiss. They are interrupted by another phone call, and Ned
notices the number calling Fancy. He says isnt that the area code for
Harmony? She says yes, does he know someone there. He says he does, and
Fancy says small world.

At the Wallace house, Edna is packing up the booze and tells Beth that
they have to move it. Edna says Luis and Sheridan know they were at the
mansion so they have to get out. Beth asks how they know? Edna says Eve
Russell saw them leaving the mansion, and she says it will take Luis all
of five seconds to realize everything Sheridan has said is right. Beth
says just because Eve saw them leaving doesnt mean she told anyone.
Edna thinks she will tell though and they need to get out of Harmony
before they are done for. Beth tries to call Alistair for help, but
hes not answering. Edna thinks Alistair wont help them, and Beth
says if he wont then shell take him down with them. Edna says
hush, he could have this place bugged. Edna ends up telling Beth that
Alistair warned her what would happen if anyone figured out she was
Alistairs daughter. Edna says her connection to Alistair has been
discovered so there is nothing left to do but hit the road. Beth says
there is something she can do. Edna says not murder again. Beth says
shes not going to kill anyone, she has a better idea. Beth calls Luis
up.

At the cottage, Sheridan tells Luis that she wants to go over and
confront Beth. Luis says Beth may be hiding something and they should
try and find out, but they have no proof. Sheridan says Eve and the maid
both told them that Beth and Mrs. Wallace were at the mansion, so
obviously Alistair helped Beth steal her baby. Luis says they still have
no proof. Sheridan says maybe not now, but once they get to Beths she
will make Beth admit that she kidnapped and stole her baby. Luis tells
Sheridan that they need to take this one step at a time. He tells
Sheridan to stay here and let him talk to Beth. Sheridan says no, but
Luis says Beth is already upset with her. Luis says if she goes accusing
Beth again then shell go on the defense and they wont get any
answers. Luis says if Beth did kidnap their baby then she will be
punished. Sheridan agrees to let Luis go, but she tells him not to let
Beth talk her way out of this. As Luis is about to leave he gets a call
from Beth. Beth tells him that she has something to tell him and it is
important. She asks him to come over as she has a confession to make.
Beth says she has done something horrible to him and Sheridan. Luis says
hell be right over. Sheridan thinks she was right all along and now
she wants to confess because she knows they are onto them. Luis says
maybe she is right. Luis heads off and Sheridan looks at a photo of
Marty. She says she knew she was right all along about Beth, and soon
Luis will return with their son.

Back at Beths, Edna cant believe Beth is going to confess and she
thinks the angels have finally answered her prayers. Edna tells Beth to
make sure she lets Luis know that she (Edna) is innocent and this was
all hers (Beths) and Alistairs doing. Beth says dont worry,
shell take the blame for all of it. Luis eventually shows up to see
Beth. Beth tells him to sit as what she has to say will shock him. Luis
sits and asks Beth what is it? Beth says she doesnt know where to
start, and she doesnt know how everything got so out of control. Beth
says she has done something horrible to him and Sheridan.

Valerie and Chad are at Crane Industries, and Chad has the baby with
him. Valerie says he keeps calling him pal or little guy, isnt it
time to name him. Chad says that is important, something that will stay
with him for the rest of his life. Chad says before he names him he
wants to get Whitneys input. Valerie says she gave him up, but he
says Whitney loves him and one day shell want to be a part of the
babys life. Chad excuses himself for a moment, and Valerie wonders if
he wants Whitney in the babys life or his.

At the courthouse, Fox runs into Whitney in the hall. She is listening
to a baby cry, and he thinks that baby crying is reminding her of their
son and it is tearing her apart. Fox asks her to level with him and tell
him why she gave their baby away. Whitney says she has already told him
why, but Fox doesnt believe her. He says he was just meeting with a
judge about getting his son back. She says he cant do that, but he
asks if she expects him not to try. He asks her to tell him why she gave
their son away. She says all she can says is she is sorry, and she walks
off.

In court, Ethan once again asks for the charges against Gwen to be
dropped and for custody to be given to him and Gwen as Theresas
history with their child is not pretty. Theresa tells Ethan that he
cant do this, and she tells her mom that this is crazy. Ivy asks
Rebecca if the judge will rule for Gwen? Rebecca doesnt know as the
judge isnt on the Crane payroll. The judge says normally she
doesnt hear child custody cases mixed with other cases, but she says
since the cases are so closely connected shell make a decision on
both today. The judge tells everyone that she will return with her
ruling shortly. Gwen thanks Ethan for helping her and that she is
embarrassed for doubting him. Meanwhile, Theresa is furious when the DA
says that Ethan presented good evidence and that Dr. Russell is well
respected. Theresa says Dr. Russell is a drug addict and three time
suspected killer. Pilar says Eve is a good friend, but Theresa says not
today she isnt. Theresa says Gwen knew what she was doing when she
attacked her and the judge has not heard the truth, but she will.
Theresa says shes going to go tell her the truth. The DA says if she
interrupts the judge now then she will turn her against her. Theresa
tells the gals they wont get away with this, this is just another
example of the rich using the system to their advantage. Rebecca says
duh, what good is being rich if you dont use it? Theresa also asks
Ethan how he could stand up there and lie, and she says they are lucky
Gwen didnt kill their child. Gwen says shell leave the killing of
babies to her. Ethan says enough. He decides to talk to Theresa alone
and try and end this war between them. Gwen says good luck, but Ethan
says he must end this once and for all. Ethan tells Theresa that they
need to talk about their future, and they head out to the hall.

Theresa asks Ethan how he can stab her in the back like this, this is a
nightmare. Ethan says she could have prevented this but she wouldnt
let it go, she had to get revenge. Theresa says this isnt about
revenge it is about being a family like they should be. Theresa says she
loves him and she knows he loves her. She then pulls Ethan into a kiss.
He pushes her away and asks if she is insane? She says he loves her, but
he says no. He says he is married to Gwen and he is committed to her. He
says he wont leave Gwen no matter what, there is no chance for them
now or ever. Theresa says the judge wont take Jane from her, but
Ethan says whatever happens he wants to be clear about this mess between
the three of them. Theresa says they are clear. She then asks Ethan if a
burglar steals something from someone and keeps it, does it eventually
belong to the burglar? He says of course not. She says that is her
point, morally, emotionally and legally he belongs to her; Gwen stole
him from her. He asks what it is going to take to get through to her. He
says if they are going to find any happiness then she must let him go.
He says that judge will change their lives at any minute. Gwen comes out
and says the judge is ready now.

Court reconvenes, and the judge makes her ruling. She ends up dropping
the charges against Gwen. Theresa of course cant believe this.
Theresa says Ethan beat her, he did this to her. Ivy and Rebecca hi-five
one another as Gwen and Ethan hug. The judge then scolds Theresa for
what she did to this couple and how their child came into the world. She
tells Theresa that her behavior unnerves her, and even in her courtroom
she acted foolishly. She says she will revisit this case in the future,
but for the moment she gives temporary custody of Jane to Ethan and
Gwen. Theresa cant believe this and cries on her mothers shoulder.
Gwen hugs Ethan and is thrilled with the ruling.

Sheridan is in the park buying a bunch of balloons for Marty. She says
her son is coming home to her today and she has decorated the whole
house for his homecoming. She runs into her mother, who has been
ignoring all her phone calls. She says she knows Luis hates her and she
doesnt want to come between them. Sheridan says she cant come
between them, and so much has happened. She tells her mom that Luis is
over at Beths where she is confessing to everything. She says Marty
is her son and as soon as Beth goes to jail then Luis will bring him
home to her. She says she and Luis have their son back, things will be
perfect and nothing will ever come between them again. Katherine is
happy for Sheridan. Sheridan asks how she is, has she reconciled with
Martin? Katherine says shes trying to avoid him as he needs to
rebuild his life with Pilar and his children. She says maybe one day
Luis will love him as much as she does. Katherine says now is the time
for Martin to rejoin the life he gave up for her. Sheridan wishes Luis
could see her the way Martin does. Katherine says Luis will always hate
her, and she will keep her distance from both her and Martin. Sheridan
says but shes cutting herself off from two people who love her.
Katherine says all she needs to hear is that Sheridan loves her and that
she is happy with the man she loves. Katherine tells Sheridan to be
happy, and Sheridan says shell be happy forever. Suddenly her
balloons blow away. Katherine says shell have to go get more, but
Sheridan says she doesnt have time. She asks her mom to come with
her, but Katherine says no as this is a private moment for her, Luis and
Marty. Sheridan tells her mom that shell call her soon.

Whitney heads to the park and runs into Chad, the baby and Valerie. She
tries to sneak off before she is seen, but Chad sees her and calls her
over. He says they have to name the baby and he wants her to help him.
Whitney says no, but Chad hands the baby to Whitney and tells her to
look at him. He says study that face and think of a name. Whitney says
hes not her son anymore, but Chad says that doesnt matter right
now. Whitney says he already knows what he wants to name his son as they
talked about this. Chad says yes he always knew what he wanted to name
his son if and when he had one. He names the boy Miles Davis Harris. Fox
shows up and sees everyone together and wonders what is going on here.
When Fox learns they named the baby he is furious. Whitney tells them
not to fight as it isnt good for the baby. Fox asks what she cares
about a baby she gave away? Fox says hes had it with the both of them
and storms off. Whitney says she should go as well, gives the baby back
to Chad and walks off. Valerie cant believe it when Chad tells miles
that his mommy does love her and will be with them both soon. Later,
Valerie talks to Chad about some business deal hes been working on
and how nobody at Crane has been able to do this before, he will get a
huge promotion. They head back to Crane to finish the deal.

Fox arrives at Crane Industries and sneaks into Chads office. He
finds a bunch of papers on Chads desk and realizes it is the project
Chad has been working on. Fox says this will make grandfather way to
happy. Fox says Chad may have stolen his son, but he wont steal his
job. He takes the files and leaves.

At Beths house, Beth tells Luis that she has done something truly
terrible to him and Sheridan. Luis says so Sheridan was right? Beth says
she cant bear to keep this secret anymore. Beth says Sheridan was
right, shes not the person he thinks she is. She says she has to come
forward because her conscience wont let her live with this guilt
anymore. She says she has to tell him everything, every last horrific
details. Beth says she has no idea where to begin, so he suggests the
beginning. Beth says this is just so hard. She says Sheridan was right
when they saw her at the Blue Note, she was with Alistair. Beth says she
made a deal with Alistair. She says he wanted to get her into bed, and
she couldnt say no as he owns the Book Caf. She says she thought
she could handle him. Luis says so he blackmailed her. She says she got
in way over her head, Alistair not only wanted her in his bed, but he
wanted her to help him break up him and Sheridan. She says Alistair
offered her thousands of dollars and she took it. She says she made a
deal with the devil to destroy him and Sheridan. Beth cries how she is a
single mother also caring for an elderly parent. She says she took the
check and now is appalled at herself. Edna cant believe this and asks
Beth if she hasnt left something out? Luis asks if she helped
Alistair hurt him and Sheridan, was she working for Alistair? He says no
more lies, he wants the truth. Beth says she doesnt lie. Luis says he
needs to truth, does she have anything ore to confess. Beth says no and
shes never helped Alistair do anything. Edna says like father like
daughter, she is lying through her teeth. Beth says she took the check
but she could never hurt him or Sheridan. Beth says Alistair just scares
her, and she is afraid of what Alistair will do to her. Beth says
Alistair Crane is the father of darkness and she asks Luis to save her.
Luis says he knows she and her mom were at the mansion last night, and
she didnt have to tell him, but she did and that says a lot about
her. Later, after Luis has gone, Beth sings Im a little genius,
yes I am. Edna tells her daughter that lies flow from her lips just
like butter. Edna says she should have known she wouldnt tell Luis
the truth. Beth says of course not, she used what she knew and made
herself look like the victim. She says Luis will side with her against
Alistair, driving another wedge between him and Sheridan.

At the cottage, Sheridan asks Luis why hasnt he brought Marty home.
Luis tells Sheridan what Beth told her, and he believes her. Sheridan
cant believe Luis is believing Beths lies. Luis says Beth says she
has done nothing to them, she is afraid of her father, and she has no
intention of helping him. Sheridan cant believe Luis is believing
Beth over her yet again.

May 18, 2005
Sam stands outside Jessicas door and tries to talk to her. He says
hes worried about her and he loves her. He says he knows she is
hurting and he wants to help her. Jessica says nothing. She sits on her
bed and looks at photos. He begs Jessica to open up, but she wont.
Kay shows up and tries to talk to Jessica. She asks Jessica to open up
and let them know she is okay. She finally opens up and asks for some
privacy. Sam says he just wants to know she is okay. She says shes
not okay, and she feels like a prisoner. Sam says she is on restriction,
and hes trying to help and protect her. She says she doesnt want
his protection and to leave her alone. Kay tells her dad to ignore
Jessica, she doesnt mean it. Sam says she does, Jessica is hell bent
on destroying herself because it is killing him. Back in her room,
Jessica punches out the face of Ivy in a photo of Ivy and her dad.
Meanwhile, Kay and Sam talk to one another. Sam thinks he is to blame
for everything, and maybe he should see a shrink. Kay tells him not to
blame himself, mom left and that is why Jessica is angry. In her head,
Kay tells herself she is to blame and not her father. Kay tries to tell
her dad that he is not to blame. She says mom left and he turned to Ivy
for comfort, nobody can hold that against him. Sam says Jessica does.
Jessica eavesdrops on them, and Sam says he was selfish to think about
himself before thinking about the two of them. He says no wonder Jessica
is angry at him. Kay says dont kid himself, Jessica is mad at mom for
deserting them and picking David over all of them. Kay says Jessica is
just hurt and scared. Kay says you start to wonder how much youre
worth when your own mother didnt love you enough to stay. Kay tells
herself or how much youre worth when you didnt love your mother
enough to make her stay. Sam asks Kay if that is how she feels, that she
isnt worthy enough? Kay says her mom hates her, but Sam says she
doesnt. Kay says she at least feels rejected by her mom, and she
hopes Maria never feels that way about her. Sam feels like Jessica
thinks he rejected her to. Sam asks how he can help Jessica if she
wont let him? Sam says more than anything he wants Jessica to know
that he loves her very much. Jessica begins to cry as she listens in.
Sam tells Kay that he shouldnt be laying this on her as she is the
child. Kay says she is a parent now too, and there is one way she can
help Jessica. Kay says make mom come home. He says hes tried, but she
and David are in the artic on a photo shoot and hes having trouble
contacting them. Kay says he not only has to convince her to come home,
but that David cant come with her. She says he has to convince her to
come home and work things out because she belongs here. Jessica seems to
like this idea as she musters a smile. Kay says who knows, with mom back
maybe Noah will come home. Jessica hopes her dad will say yes. Sam says
he knows he has to call their mom and tell her about Jessica. Sam says
she may come back and visit, but there is little chance that he and her
mom can ever get back together.

At Tabithas, Tabitha has a rubber duck floating in her magic bowl to
entertain Endora. She tells endora a story about a man hunting the duck,
but the duck had big sharp teeth and ate the hunter. She then looks into
her bowl and sees Sheridan and Luis arguing. Tabitha says there is
trouble afoot for those two, she can feel it in her bones. She says she
just loves when a couple in love are unhappy. Tabitha continues to watch
Sheridan and Luis and relishes in their pain. She also likes enjoying
this with Endora, and how she supports her unconditionally. She says
while she loved her Timmy, he was always a wet noodle when it came to
dealing out evil and pain. Endora summons up a bowl of popcorn and a
banner that says Team Evil. Later, Tabitha casts a spell on
Sheridan to make her remember her past lives with Luis. Tabitha then
tells Endora while she has been a great which, she never made it into
the hall of fame because she was never able to break up Sheridan and
Luis. Tabitha says this time she doesnt have to work to destroy their
love any more as their love will be destroyed for eternity.

At the cottage, Sheridan begins throwing away all her decorations for
Martys homecoming party. Sheridan says no use of having a party when
there is no Marty. She asks Luis how he can believe every thing Beth
tells her no matter what. She says he believes Beth over her every time.
Sheridan says her word is never good enough for him, so what does that
say about their relationship? She says there is such distrust between
them. Luis says it isnt that he distrusts her. Sheridan says no,
its that he doesnt believe her. She says he cant have it both
ways, he always takes Beths word over hers. She says she knows
without a shadow of a doubt that Marty is her son, but he fights her at
every turn instead of supporting her. Luis says he does support her, he
even arranged for the DNA test. He says she has not one scrap of proof
to back up what she says, and no court will believe her. Sheridan says
she isnt talking about a court or a judge. She says what she
doesnt understand is that he is asking for proof without giving her
the benefit of the doubt. She says he should believe her out of trust,
faith and love. Sheridan continues to believe that Beth has been working
with Alistair. Luis says then why did Beth confess, she didnt have to
because she didnt know they suspected she was working with Alistair.
Sheridan says bull, she knew and she confessed to cover her tracks. Luis
says the only solid proof they have is the DNA tests, and those tests
say Marty is not their son. Sheridan says her heart tells her that Marty
is her son, and she knows Marty is the one she carried and gave birth
to. She says it was his face she memorized, a mother knows so she
doesnt need proof. Sheridan takes the garbage out, and she is hit by
Tabithas spell to remember her past lives with Luis. She remembers
when she was Cleopatra, and when Luis was a pirate and she was the
governors daughter. She also remembers being on the Titanic with
Luis. She remembers how every life ended in disaster. Luis brings her
some tea, and she says thanks. Luis tries to talk to Sheridan, but she
turns his back on him. He says he guesses hell go back inside. She
stops him and says shes been thinking about them. He says me too. She
says shes been remembering their past lives together. Luis says this
life is the one he cares about. Sheridan says they were always torn
apart by something. She says they were always torn apart by an external
force out of control, but this time things are different. She says they
are being torn apart by themselves.

At courthouse, the judge gives temporary custody of Jane to Gwen and
Ethan. Gwen hugs Ethan, and Theresa cries. Theresa says she wont let
them take her baby, and she rushes and attacks Gwen. Ethan pulls Theresa
off of Gwen, and Rebecca says Theresa deserves to be locked up. The
judge calls in the guards as Theresa screams that she wont let them
have her child. The Judge finds Theresa in contempt and charges her with
assault. The judge tells Theresa that she has no one to blame for her
predicament but herself, and she tells the guards to take Theresa away.
Theresa cries that she cant go to jail as her daughter needs her.
Rebecca tells Gwen that she has won the war. Gwen remembers Ethan
talking about how this war had to stop. Gwen tells the judge to stop and
to just let Theresa go. Rebecca is stunned. The judge says she cannot
excuse her behavior. Gwen says she is not asking it to be excused, but
she knows the pain of losing a child. She says she thinks Theresa has
suffered enough, so for all of them and for her please just let it go.
Gwen says they have to move on with their lives, and she wont press
charges against her. The judge says this is a wonderful gesture on her
part given Theresa wanted the judge to throw the book at her. Gwen says
everything worked out, so please can they let it go. Ethan goes to Gwen
and is proud of her. The judge agrees to let Theresa go, and she tells
Theresa that she is lucky that Mrs Winthrop has such a big heart. The
judge says her violent outburst confirms her decision to give custody to
Gwen and Ethan. She says it will take a great deal of effort on
Theresas part not to make this temporary custody permanent. She asks
Theresa if that is clear, and Theresa says yes. The judge says court
dismissed. Later Theresa tells Gwen that Jane will never be her
daughter. Ethan tells Pilar to restrain her daughter, but Theresa says
she doesnt have a scalpel so Gwen will be okay. Theresa asks Ethan
how he could do this to her. She says she had every right to press
charges against Gwen. Ethan says he is not doing this to punish her, he
is doing this for the best interest of his daughter. Pillar tells Ethan
he should be ashamed of himself. Theresa says she is Janes mother and
no one is better for Jane than her. She tells Gwen that shell never
get her daughter, never. Gwen says she wont be kept from Jane, she
can have visitation. Theresa says she doesnt need visitation. Ethan
tells Theresa that Gwen just kept her out of jail, but Theresa says she
doesnt want favors from Gwen. Gwen tells Theresa that she has no one
to blame for losing Jane but herself, and Ethan just wants someone
rational to raise his daughter. She says like someone who tried to kill
her? The DA suggests Theresa stop this or the judge wont give her
custody. Rebecca chimes in and says she thinks shell talk to Julian
about getting custody of Little Ethan because she worries about that boy
living in that shack. Pilar tells her to shut up or shell deal with
her. Rebecca tells the bailiff if he heard that? Rebecca gloats to
Theresa and says Gwen is free, and she is free to raise her daughter.
She tells Theresa not to worry, theyll show Jane her mug shot from
time to time so she knows how lucky she is not to grow up with the tacky
queen of mean as her mamacita. Theresa then launches into an attack on
Rebecca! Pilar pulls Theresa away and says Rebecca isnt worth it, she
could have her arrested and Theresa should not give her the
satisfaction. Rebecca says not to worry, she is perfectly satisfied with
the events of today. Pilar tells Theresa they should just leave. Gwen
tells Theresa to get Janes things together and theyll be over to
get her. Theresa asks Ethan who he is? How could he do this when he saw
how upset she was when she lost Little Ethan and when Gwen kidnapped
Jane. Theresa says this is far from over and the only way theyll get
custody of Jane is over her dead body. Theresa storms out, and Gwen
tells Ethan to remember what is best for Jane, and they are what is best
for her.

Thursday

May 19, 2005

At the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, Theresa can't bear the thought of
giving Jane up, and she says she will kill Gwen if she tries to take her
daughter. Pilar tells her not to say such horrible things. Theresa says
it is true, she cannot bear to lose her children as they are her life.
She says she might as well just die or have gone to jail for attacking
Gwen in court. Pilar tells her that she is being selfish as Little Ethan
still needs her. Pilar says the custody isn't permanent and she must use
this time to focus on making herself look worthy of having her child.
Theresa asks why Gwen doesn't have to prove herself worthy? Pilar tells
Theresa that she hates to tell Theresa this, but she brought this on
herself. She says how many times did Ethan ask her to drop this feud,
and how many times did he say he would fight her for Jane. Pilar says
Theresa backed him into a corner. Theresa says it doesn't matter what
she does now, she can't get a fair trial in this town. She says if
Rebecca and Gwen want to take Jane they will buy off the judge. Theresa
continues to say they won't get her children, she won't let them have
them.

At the Mansion, everyone comes home, and Rebecca and Ivy go
right for the champagne to celebrate Theresa's downfall. Gwen asks Ethan
if he wants to celebrate, but he says he can't. She knows he is feeling
guilty about taking Jane from Theresa. Ethan says he is glad the charges
against her were dropped, and he is proud of her gesture towards
Theresa, but he still can't help but feel for Theresa. He says she is a
good mother, but Gwen says she is a liar and a manipulator and Jane is
better off with them. Gwen wonders why he always feels for Theresa.
Later, Ivy comes out to talk to Ethan, and he admits to his mother that
he still loves Theresa. She asks if he is going to leave Gwen, but Ethan
says of course not. He says he loves Gwen and he is her husband and will
remain faithful. They go out to the patio to talk. Ivy doesn't
understand how Ethan can still have feelings for her, but he says he
does. He says he knows if the situations were reversed today that
Theresa would not have spared Gwen and let her go free. Still, he says
he loves Theresa and the fact is she didn't manipulate him into loving
her, he fell head first in love with her on his own. Ivy suggests he
just get away from her, if he is away with Gwen then in time his
feelings for Theresa will go away. Ethan doesn't think so, and he uses
Ivy and Sam as an example. He says Ivy's true love will always be Sam
and God help him, but Theresa will always be his true love.

At the cottage, Luis and Sheridan continue to argue about the
same thing, Sheridan is upset that Luis won't trust and believe in her.
She begins to feel they are doomed in this life just like in their
others. She says she must go, and she runs off in tears.

At Tabitha's, Tabitha and Endora continue to watch Sheridan and Luis
fight. Tabitha realizes she must get Sheridan to come here, but how.
Endora suggests a spell, but Tabitha hasn't tried that spell in a while.
Tabitha cuts a photo of Sheridan out of a magazine, lights it on fire
and then drops it in her bowl. Sheridan, who is off crying, stops and
says she knows where she must go. Tabitha cheers that it worked and
tells Endora to get ready for some company.

At Sam's, Jessica continues to eavesdrop on Kay and her dad's
conversation. They discuss Grace leaving them for David. Kay slips up
and says mom only left because she thought David was her first husband.
Sam says he was her first husband, and she put her vows before them. Sam
says that is something he wouldn't have been able to do, he would have
chosen his family. He says Grace is gone and she won't be coming back.
Kay asks what about Ivy, would he give her another chance? Sam says
first he must concentrate on Jessica and fixing his own house. Kay says
what about down the line? Sam says who knows, down the line if Ivy is
still free then maybe they might have a chance. JEssica hears this and
says over her tattooed and pierced body! Kay talks about how she used to
be the troubled one and now Jessica is the good girl. Sam says he's so
proud of the way she's turned her life around, and as for Jessica, she
is how she is because of his actions and Grace. Kay tells him not to
blame himself, and Jessica says Ivy is the one to blame. Sam says this
is his fault, he should have been a more attentive father. He says
Jessica is right, Noah's been gone so long he wouldn't recognize him if
he walked in the door. Kay thinks Noah should come home, and Sam thinks
he'll email him about Jessica and that should bring him home. Kay is
preparing a family dinner, so Sam decides to head out and get ice cream.
Kay then learns Jessica was eavesdropping, and she scolds her.
Jessica won't put up with Kay, and she won't tolerate Ivy coming back
into this house ever. She also tells Kay she's not taking part in her
family dinner, she's going out. Kay says the hell she is, and Kay
tackles Jessica!

In Vegas, Fancy and Veronica are at the pool, and Fancy refuses to
give up on Ned. Ned is with another girl name Sandra, and he doesn't
give Fancy a second look. In fact he calls her a spoiled little rich
girl. Sandra goes for a swim, and Ned decides to join her. Fancy throws
her drink on him and says since he wanted to get wet, she thought she'd
help him. Fancy goes back to Veronica, and she is sure Ned will come to
her now. Ned, who is in the pool, does come over to her. She thinks he
wants to play, and he says he does. He pushes her in the pool, and she
cries about her sandals and her hair getting wet. He tells her if she
wants to play by the pool side to dress the part. Later, a fed-up Nancy
pulls Ned into the pool and laughs at him.

Friday

May 20, 2005We see a replay of Kay discovering an eavesdropping Jessica, and
Jessica claiming shes going out. Kay refuses to let Jessica go out
and tackles her. Kay says she wont let her go out and hurt herself
some more, she wont let her break dads heart. Kay says shell be
damned if she lets her go out and hurt herself again. Jessica calls Kay
nuts, but Kay says she isnt the one with the appointment at the
shrink. Kay says dad went out to get her favorite ice cream for the
dinner she is making, and if she has to tie her to a chair to make her
sit down for dinner then shell do it. Jessica says Kay isnt her
mother. Kay grabs a frying pan, holds it up and says if she has to hurt
Jessica to stop her then shell do it. Jessica says go ahead, if she
hits her then shell have Kay sent to prison for years. Kay asks
Jessica what is wrong with her? Kay says sometimes shes worried about
Jessica, but sometimes she thinks she is just a brat. Jessica says takes
one to know one, Kay hasnt cared about anyone but herself for as long
as she can remember. Kay says dont make this about her, shes not
the one hurting herself, taking drugs and running around like a sex
happy slut. Jessica says she doesnt have to, she tricked Miguel into
sleeping her and had his bastard baby. Kay says Maria is the best thing
that happened to her, but Jessica wonders if Kay is the best thing that
happened to Maria. Jessica says she is a single mom who spends all her
time working and hardly sees her daughter. Kay says working pays the
bills. Jessica says now she sounds like dad. Jessica tells Kay that she
has no right to lecture her, but Kay says the hell she doesnt. Kay
says shes learned from her mistakes but Jessica hasnt. Kay says
they care about her and she loves her. Jessica calls her sister a liar
and thinks shed just say anything to get her to stick around. Kay
cant believe Jessica, but thinks she shouldnt be shocked as
Jessica always acted like a goody goody in front of mom and dad, but she
would scream her head off behind their backs when she wouldnt get her
way. Jessica says and Kay acted like Queen Kay who was always right, and
she says its no wonder Reese dumped Kay for her. Kay says shes
onto her, shes always had an evil streak and even Noah defended her.
Jessica says because she is his baby sister. Kay says well she knows how
to take care of her now, and she waves the skillet. Jessica tells Kay to
drop the skillet, but Kay thinks she can beat the truth out of Jessica.
Kay wants to know why Jessica is bent on destroying her life. Jessica
asks why she cares. Kay says because she loves her, and she always has
loved her. She says some of her earliest memories are of helping mom
take care of her. She says when Jessica got older she turned on her, so
she wants to know what is going on with her. Jessica says she is sick
and tired of her nagging , she is fine and can take care of herself. Kay
says sure shes fine, booze, cigarettes, drugs razor blades and burns,
date rape, threatening and stealing from Ivy. Kay says she also almost
got hit by a car, and she got that loosers name tattooed on her.
Jessica says she likes Spike, and that he treats her like an adult. Kay
says he got her so stoned she didnt know he was having sex with her.
Kay says Jessica is on her way to rehab or the grave. Kay tries to
convince Jessica if she keeps this behavior up then she will end up
getting killed as she is gambling with her life.

In Vegas, we see a replay of Nancy pulling Ned into the pool as payback
for him pushing her in. She says he looks like a drowned rat, so Ned
turns around and dunks Fancy. Fancy is even more furious with Ned, and
they argue and bicker. Ned says he doesnt need anyone like her in his
life, but she says how dare he make assumptions about her. He says he
went to boarding school with a ton of girls just her, and he doesnt
need her in his life. Fancy says he is no gentlemen, but Ned says he is
and says his family raised him right. She tells him well he is acting
like a blue collar bore. Ned tells her if she wants people to think she
is a lady then she shouldnt throw drinks on people. Ned then gets
back to his date. Sandra dries Ned off, and Fancy watches and cant
believe it. As they are walking off together, Ned throws Fancy, still in
the pool, her towel. He knocks her bag over and she says pick that bag
up as it probably costs more then his car. He picks her bag up and
swipes an invitation out of it. The invitation is for a private and
exclusive gambling party. Fancy gets out of the pool and takes her bag
from Ned. Fancy tells Ned to drop dead as she hopes she never sees him
again. Fancy then walks off.

Later on we see Ned and Sandra going to the private party. He flashes
his invite and heads into the party. Mary (Nikki Cox) calls Danny and
says she is at the Capistrano and the guy he was watching the other
night is here. She decides to give him a friendly warning. Mary goes
over to the table and watches over Ned. Ned soon realizes she works at
the Casino, and he asks if there is a problem. She says everyone in the
Casino trade look out for one another here. Ned gets the point and says
he gambles but he doesnt cheat. Mary says shell believe him for
now, but know the house is always watching. Mary calls back Danny and
says she thinks the guy is okay. Ned plays some roulette and says he
feels lucky. Meanwhile, Fancy shows up to the party but wont be let
in without her invite. She says he knows her, but the doorman says he
has to do it by the book. She looks in her purse but cant find her
invite anywhere.

At the Wallace house, Mrs. Wallace has bought more stuff, and Beth says
she cant keep spending money like this. She says they should put
money in the bank for the future, and did she even think about her
grandson? Edna says he isnt her grandson, but she did get him
something. Edna bought him a train. Beth tells Marty how soon Luis will
come be with them and they will be a real family. Edna says just as long
as Luis doesnt figure out she is Sheridans sister because then the
truth will come out. Beth says they have nothing to worry about, Luis
and Sheridan have no idea that Alistair is her father or that she is
Sheridans half sister. Luis shows up and asks what is going on here?
Luis asks where they got all this stuff as it must have costs thousands
of dollars. Beth says she told him about Alistairs bribe, and she
says her mother cashed the check. She says her mom is crazy, and Edna
says youre calling me crazy! Edna says that is the pot calling the
kettle black. Beth says anyone who would cash Alistairs check is
crazy. Luis says enough, and he doesnt like the way Beth is talking
to her mom. Beth says she loves her mother but they fight like cats and
dogs. She says she is just a single working mother scraping to get by,
but shell make sure her mom returns the money to Alistair. Edna says
but she earned that money. Beth eventually gets her mom to leave. Beth
tells Luis that her mom is just getting worse. Beth says she knows
hes under a lot of pressure. Beth says they are two of a kind, and
she thinks her mom does belong in a home. Luis says it might not be a
pad idea since Precious isnt here to look after her anymore. However,
Beth says she couldnt bear to put her mom away in a home. Beth says
her mom is old, shes had a stroke and a heart attack so she could go
at any time now. Luis says she has such a big heart and he wishes
Sheridan could see her now. From the door Edna pretends to put her
finger down her throat. Luis came here looking for Sheridan, he thought
she might have come to see Marty. Beth says she hasnt seen her. Luis
talks about how he hates fighting with Sheridan and he doesnt think
he can live without her. Beth says she doesnt know about that. Luis
tells her that Sheridan still believes the DNA test is wrong. Beth asks
how she can ignore the evidence. Luis says talk to Sheridan. He says but
if somehow he found out the test was flawed and someone took Marty from
Sheridan, he will find that person and kill them. Beth says he knows
Marty is their son. Luis says he knows, but Beth has been doing research
on DNA and now she thinks the two of them are sisters or half-sisters.
Beth says that is crazy. He says he knows, and he knows Katherine
couldnt be her mother. He also says he doesnt think Alistair would
ever have slept with her mother given all the women he could pick from.
Beth says it is nuts, it is nonsense. They discuss how Sheridan is
mistaken, and Edna listens in and cant believe the lies Beth is
telling. Beth tells Luis to forget about Sheridan for the night and
spend some time with Marty as Marty misses him. Luis thinks that is a
good idea. Luis holds his son, and Beth says Marty really needs his
father. Luis wants to be a bigger part of his life, but it is hard with
Sheridan. Beth says they have to hope her problems are solved soon. Luis
looks at Marty and thinks he does kinda look like Sheridan. Beth says
she thinks he looks hungry and decides to feed him some cereal. Beth
then suggests Luis stay the evening as she could fix him a drink. He
says he cant, he has to go look for Sheridan,

Tabitha watches Sheridan in her bowl. Sheridan is heading to Tabithas.
Tabitha waits for Sheridan to show up at her front door so she can give
Sheridan the final push to extinguish her love with Luis. Tabitha plans
to convince Sheridan to contact Dottie about rerunning the DNA results.
Tabitha says when the truth comes out Sheridan will not be able to
forgive Luis for not supporting her. Tabitha covers up her bowl,
Sheridan walks in and Tabitha snaps Sheridan out of her trance. Sheridan
has no idea how she got here. Tabitha says that must be so confusing for
her. Sheridan begins to think maybe she is losing her mind. Tabitha
suggests she sit down and shell get her a nice glass of ice tea.
Tabitha brings her a drink, and she tells Sheridan to tell her all about
it. Sheridan says she doesnt know what happened, she doesnt know
how she got here. Tabitha says she didnt hear a car so she must have
walked. Sheridan says that is miles, but her feet are sore. Tabitha
suggests she talk to her, but Sheridan thinks she should be going.
Tabitha wont let her leave and insists she stay. Tabitha asks how
Luis is doing, and Sheridan says they are having problems. Tabitha
thinks it must be trust issues, and she says without trust the fire of
passion will go out. Sheridan doesnt know what to do. Tabitha
suggests she tell her all about it and maybe she can be of help.
Sheridan doesnt want to burden her, but Tabitha says shes known
her since she was little. Sheridan thinks she remembers her from when
Julian took her trick or treating as a little girl. We see a flashback
of Julian taking Sheridan to Tabithas house for Halloween. Julian
told Sheridan how the old woman who lived here was creepy. Tabitha came
out dressed as the Wicked Witch, and she gave Snow White (Sheridan) some
caramel apples. When Sheridan went to take the apple, the apples rotted
and worms fell out. Of course Sheridan only saw this, Julian didnt.
Julian ended up taking the apples, but Sheridan dropped hers and ran
off. Julian apologized and ran after Sheridan. Tabitha laughed and said
that they will know one another a lot better when she gets older. Back
in real time, Tabitha tells Sheridan she looks like shes seen a
ghost, but Sheridan says no a witch. Tabitha tries to convince Sheridan
to open up, but Sheridan says it is private. Tabitha says she cant
believe Sheridan and Luis have problems as they are soul mates. Tabitha
says she heard they thought they had past lives together. Sheridan says
yes but they dont talk about it as some people think it is a bit
crazy. Tabitha believes in past lives and suggests they may have met in
a past life before. Sheridan does feel a connection to her, so Tabitha
tells her to talk to her. Sheridan tells Tabitha everything she thinks.
Tabitha tells Sheridan if Luis wont stand by her in a crisis then
maybe he doesnt really love her. Sheridan knows Marty is her son and
shell do anything to get him back. Tabitha believes her and says she
knows Sheridan would give anything to cast her eyes on Marty. Suddenly,
Endora casts a spell and switches places with Marty! Ednora goes to the
Wallace house and Marty to Tabithas. At the Wallace house Edna
cant believe what she sees.
